Learn how to defeat the Kantus, a returning enemy in Gears of War 3 that can revive other locusts and stun you with its scream.
The Kantus locusts are a returning enemy from Gears of War 2. They will stand in the back of an area usually, shooting with a Gorgon (a type of pistol) and chucking Ink Grenades. If a Savage Drone or Theron goes down, the Kantus can revive them. It takes a few seconds to do it completely, so if you happen to have a Lancer (a type of rifle) on you, chainsawing it now is the best way to kill it.
For the Kantus itself, it cannot take cover (a defensive maneuver where players hide behind objects), but it can roll to the side. If you get close to it, its scream can stun you (temporarily incapacitate you), but it is easier to chainsaw than in Gears of War 2.
- Chainsaw downed Savage Drones or Therons to prevent the Kantus from reviving them.
- If you have a Lancer, use its chainsaw attachment to quickly eliminate the Kantus.
- Be aware that the Kantus can roll to the side to evade attacks.
- Maintain distance to avoid being stunned by its scream.
- Chainsawing the Kantus is an effective, albeit risky, strategy.
